Christian kids: worse than Godzilla.

In this movie's reality how do they explain Nagasaki? A chubby dude with similar powers was willing to do whatever it took to end the sushi embargo?

With a child's love.

No argument. Spying for the Soviet Union in 1983 is, by itself, cause for horror. But, on a basic level, they're your parents. You don't want to know anything else before you risk their safety and their and your brother's future? I mean, that's a good story: the Russian spies who embedded their family so well that…

Yes, she knows they're criminals. Forget what Philip and Elizabeth actually do. There's no excusing it. They deserve to go to prison for it. I'm basing this on what Paige knows about them and the disregard it takes for her to make that phone call. If you're Paige, you don't want to know anything else besides that your…

Carlos is a good companion piece to this. Idealists, or people who'd call themselves such ("Behind every bullet we fire, there will be an idea"), who end up doing little more than gangster work for some of the most repressive governments on the planet.

Come on. While we know Philip and Elizabeth have murdered innocent people what Paige knows does not compare to your example. She knows they're Russian spies. That's more or less it. For all she can say with any certainty they're relaying secrets from the Department of Agriculture to assist grain production back home.…

When Philip finds out Sandra is a huge Eddie Murphy fan it's all going to click into place for him.

That does look like his path, doesn't it? 25 years after the show he'll return to America as the owner of the Nets.

While one can argue Paige did the right thing I have a hard time believing her confession came from a place of strength. Also, while it is a kind of abuse to ask a teenager to lie to everyone except her parents for the rest of her life she had a part in creating that burden for herself. She asked to be told the truth.…

No, I see your point. I trust the show to make it work if that's what they've been building to but I also agree that the messy version (Pastor Tim is what he appears to be) is probably more interesting.

Elizabeth's memory of the trip has been reduced to a scene of Paige holding her grandmother's hand while "The Internationale" plays in the background.

It could all make sense if you wanted it to. We know the Centre was targeting her. She was first recruited in a "moment of crisis" on the bus to her fake Aunt's. The girl who told her about the church could've been a second-generation illegal. What better way to control Paige and bring her along than give her a mentor…

While I agree they should've known Paige was a bad target you can't blame what's happened on her parents' Russian friends. Mom and dad made the decision to tell her all on their own and at her request. Jared didn't turn informer. If anything, Kate did TOO good a job on him. If only she were around to give Philip and…

Eh, he had his warning. Philip was fairly clear at the end of last season.

Oleg's in a bad spot. He was taking a much bigger risk than Stan. He doesn't have an acceptable excuse for why he was working with him. Don't expect the line of "I was just trying to cut through the red tape" to have the same appeal at the Rezidentura.

So many Choose Your Own Adventure branches of ways this can ruin her life: her parents get arrested or killed, she's responsible for the death of Pastor Tim, Pastor Tim was secretly an illegal or an asset the whole time ..

The latter. The tease of Philip and Sandra isn't Stan's ex-wife becoming another mark. Maybe that'll happen, but isn't the more interesting idea that something "real" could develop between the two? She did just present herself as a willing listener right before he tried to open up to Elizabeth and she shushed him to…

I wouldn't say he's a worse idea. The story isn't over. Unless he's still hanging from a tree we don't what his role will end up being. He already helped fill in Brienne's backstory and helped inform her character. If he's dead at worst he was a side character whose existence wasn't entirely necessary. The…

I think what a lot of people figure out once they're not 20 years old anymore is if you spend any amount of time obsessing over what the "right" kind of music to like is or why other people like what they like and disrespect what you like you're going to make yourself miserable. There's no such thing as universally…
